This review is for a DCF CR-1 Visa.
The interview process was smooth. Arrived at 8:45am for a 9:20am interview on April 23, 2015. They let my wife past the first gate at about 9am. The line past the first gate is a bit disorganized, with everyone eager to get in. The staff in charge of that first line (before the security check) seemed a bit novice. My wife said they told 9:20am appointments to line up at a certain place, then later told them to go back to the line, only later to say they could go in...
Once inside the consulate, it was more organized with number systems. Just wait for your number to be called. The first step is document intake where they collect the I-864 form(s), police certificate, birth certificate, marriage certificates, etc.
The second step was to pay the $325 fee on the second floor. The person who took my wife's documents reminded her to pay this fee, but my wife said they didn't remind all applicants.
Then my wife waited for her number to be called for the actual interview. It lasted no longer than 5 minutes. The interviewer only asked about petitioner's name, current location, address in America, current job, and date of marriage. The interviewer spoke Chinese. My wife said he didn't have that much of an accent and was very friendly. Kudos to the consulate interviewers!
We left at 10:30am, very efficient in my opinion. Knocking off one star for the inexperience of the staff in charge of the first line right before entering the security check part.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
